Dormered

/ˈdɔːrmərd/ adjective

Definition

Having one or more dormers; constructed or modified to include dormer windows.

Etymology

From dormer (a window projecting from a roof) plus -ed suffix indicating possession or modification. Dormer itself comes from Old French dormir (to sleep), as these rooms were historically sleeping quarters.

Kelly Says

A dormered house tells you instantly about its architecture—those cute little windows poking out of the roof are basically the house saying 'wake up, there's more room up here!'
